Infiniti M35 Hybrid Audible Warning System

The absolute silence of electric cars and hybrid cars when they are running in electric mode is becoming an issue, now that such cars are getting popular.

Such silence can be dangerous to the pedestrians, specially kids, as they can’t hear the car coming toward them.

The most logical solution discovered so far for this problem is the audible pedestrian warning system which warns the passerbys by emitting noise. Now Infiniti is offering this system as standard on its M35h hybrid, so customers can drive it with peace of mind.

The new Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) system – is computer controlled and links an in-car sound synthesiser with a speaker built in to the front bumper. It automatically works from start-up to 30 km/h, cutting back in at 25 km/h as the vehicle slows. Also instead of just one annoying noise, it generates a range of high-low sounds at different volume levels.
